Ada mainline

    Reasons include:

    1.  You often get helpful suggestions.
    2.  You help create/educate the next generation of developers.
    3.  There is a public audit trail and discussion for posterity.

But what I fail to understand is why there is such a significant
difference between Arno checking in patches in a daily batch and
individuals each doing the work in terms of the above.

The patches are visible in both cases, so there's no difference with
respect to #1 and #2.  As to #3, see my response to RTH: either such
discussions don't exist or they can't be made public in real-time due
to the proprietary nature of the bug report.
